Re: Painting switch gear
I've recently used this autoglym stuff on my switch gear housings, they came up really well, and when its wiped off it goes back to its original plastic finish.

If you want em gloss, then guess you could just get a clear plastic lacquer & spray them, but youd have to get all the back to black stuff off with some brake cleaner before you sprayed them.
